For a man who claims to be Christian, President Obama sure does like to do battle against members of his own faith. There is no good reason for his administration to oppose the right of companies like Hobby Lobby to decide whether or not they want to pay for their employer’s birth control. While birth control is a debatable issue within the Christian community, the | Read More »

RedState doesn’t shy away from religion when discussing politics. We understand that free people must be allowed to form their own opinions and that those opinions will likely be informed by their individual religious beliefs. Those of us on the Front Page of RedState also believe, to some degree or another, that our nation was founded by men influenced by the Jewish and Christian faiths. | Read More »

Nancy Pelosi’s Biblical proof-texting reveals her inherent dishonesty and willingness to pervert piety for political ends. Her recent claims prevent non-Christians from knowing the Triune God and his redemptive plan outlined throughout Genesis to Revelation.

Who will rid Josh Barro of these turbulent priests? Barro is a writer at the New York Times. He has taken to twitter to proclaim that “anti-LGBT attitudes are terrible” and “we need to stamp them out, ruthlessly.” Barro supports gay marriage, etc. The BLT&G[insert preferred letters here] ideas of picking your gender, same sex marriage, etc. are incompatible with Christianity, Islam, and more.

The Daily Beast has a piece out this morning calling into question the business leadership practices of Dave Ramsey, a personal finance guru with an eight million listener radio show, the highest-ranked non-political talk show out there. The story alleges that Ramsey has been on a witch hunt against former employees who are critics of his company, the Lampo Group. Dave Ramsey makes millions telling | Read More »

On today’s edition of Coffee and Markets, Brad Jackson and Allysen Efferson are joined by Hunter Baker to discuss his trip to the Q Conference in Nashville, Millennials and Christianity and the debate over gay marriage.

This past Thursday night, before flying to Des Moines for the Family Leader’s Senate Forum, I spoke to the Alliance Defending Freedom in north Atlanta. The Alliance is a Christian ministry that works with lawyers around the country to defend religious liberty. The Alliance has helped students in colleges where secularists have tried to stop Christian voices from being heard. The Alliance has helped doctors | Read More »

Christians, especially conservative, evangelical, American Christians, must repent of treating the Jews like a tool of the liberals. Even against their own best interests and the interests of Israel, American Jews feel a deep distrust of all things Christian, even those who extend the hand of friendship. This continually drives them into the less strident, progressive liberal camp, where they are welcomed without the fear of being proselytized. One day, Jews will accept the truth about the Holocaust, but that will require time and healing.

God’s purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom in its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Ephesians 3:10-11, NLT) Jon Gabriel has a post up about modern evangelical churches and in particular contemporary Christian music. In his post, | Read More »

“The Christian does not think that God will love us because we’re good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.” ~C.S. Lewis It didn’t seem spiritual. Certainly, the last thing on my mind when I opened the e-mail and read the hello followed by niceties followed by SEWAGE…. BASEMENT…. LEAK…. the last thing on my mind was apostolic devotion. PIPE…. | Read More »

Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Either we, as His followers on earth, are possessed by Him, or we are not.

Following cultural authority is the wide road, and the Bible tells us where that road leads. It is through the narrow gate that we must pass.

In America, we need a cultural revolution. It starts with an awakening. Then comes a personal decision each must make: will I follow Biblical authority, and be possessed by the Truth, or will I follow cultural authority and compromise the Truth? For the Truth is not an object to be manipulated, but the Person and Divinity of Jesus Christ. Deny Him at your own peril.

“MEGA-CHURCH PASTOR RESIGNS.” That’s the headline you may have woken up to this morning. I attend Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale, and yesterday the congregation was informed that Senior Pastor Bob Coy, who founded and has led the church since 1985, has resigned due to moral failure on his part. Much of the world will see this and immediately use it to justify their opposition to | Read More »

Christians should get more involved in politics. At the moment, the reputation of Christians in public life is disastrous. Religious people are often seen as fanatical fundamentalists, leading massive hate campaigns complete with picket signs and boycotts. This projection is not representative of most Christians. Yes, there are those who use religion as a weapon, perceiving a divine backing of their actions though they intend | Read More »

If feeding the poor, helping orphans, healing the sick, and showing love to prisoners, the helpless, and the most vulnerable among us is evil, then I must object to your definition of the word. You can’t throw away the baby with the bathwater. If Christianity is evil, then all of it must be. You can’t pick and choose those things you like about it and discard the bits you don’t.

Christianity and the Bible are a package deal. Not every Christian is polite, and none of us is perfect. We are all sinners in need of a savior: in fact that’s the defining belief of Christianity. If you don’t see the evidence of forgiveness, gentleness and grace in a Christian’s life, they are probably not a Christian.
